Because U.S. telcos are greedy and stupid.  They are just looking for 
services they can charge extra for.  There are also problems of 
interoperability between different wireless providers.

And its not really SMS if you have to be connected via some Web 
interface to a remote computer in order to enter the message.  That's 
old telco circuit-mentality, when SMS is packet tech.
